My Best Friend's Brother: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance
Page 14
I hated to disappoint my granddad. Knowing how the lineage and distribution of wealth had worked for my family through the generations, it was a valid request to want to see each of us secured through marriage and kids. It wasn’t just about money, either. He was an old fashioned guy who married our grandmother right out of high school. Their love had withstood the test of time, and now she was by his side as he laid in his deathbed. He wanted us to know that same kind of love and happiness.
“Well, there’s always the matchmaking service.” Mark raised his brows as he took another sip of his beer.
Joey and I both started laughing. We all knew about the elite service that was made for guys just like me with endless wealth at their fingertips and, for whatever reason, find themselves in a spot that requires them to get married. When they don’t have a desire to or the time to find someone, they turn to the service. I had known a guy who had done it, in fact, and it turned out all right for him.
But the more I thought about it, the more my laughter faded into more serious thoughts. I would never have dreamed of resorting to something like that. Buying a bride? It was ridiculous! But now, with the current situation looming over me, I understood more than ever why such a thing existed. It was designed to solve this very kind of problem.
We all seemed to shake it off as a joke, and it didn’t seem like the right time to ask more about it. We continued drinking and scoping out the scene, but my mind kept coming back to the prospect. At least with that type of arrangement, a contract would be in place. The women were all extremely well-vetted. My money and, hopefully, my sanity would remain intact. All we’d have to do is maintain appearances for the sake of my family, and otherwise, life would carry on as usual. I wouldn’t have to worry about hunting down a wife, and I could go back to things I loved, like talking up that smoking hot redhead who was still making eyes at me.
I told myself I would bring it back up with Mark again tomorrow. It didn’t hurt to look into it and find out more. After all, I was running out of time and options.
